Glycemic Patterns Are Distinct in Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia After Gastric Bypass (PBH-RYGB).

ABSTRACT:

Context

Severe hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenia, termed post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). typically occurs postprandially, but it is also reported after activity or mid-nocturnally.

Objective

To quantify glycemia, glycemic variability, and magnitude/duration of low sensor glucose (SG) values in patients with PBH after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (PBH-RYGB).

Methods

This retrospective analysis of data from an academic medical center included individuals with PBH-RYGB (n = 40), reactive hypoglycemia without gastrointestinal surgery (Non-Surg Hypo, n = 20), prediabetes (Pre-DM, n = 14), newly diagnosed T2D (n = 5), and healthy controls (HC, n = 38). Masked continuous glucose monitoring (Dexcom G4) was used to assess patterns over 24 hours, daytime (6 am-midnight) and nigh
